Chapter 1044: Chapter 833: Entering the Hongmeng Realm
"Third Rank Su."
"Third Rank."
"..."
As Su Yuan arrived, all the Imperial Envoys of Vermilion Bird Imperial bowed in greeting.
Among these people, quite a few were recognizable to Su Yuan from his previous journey to the Grey Realm.
"Third Rank, you’ve arrived!" He Zheng also bowed, looking at Su Yuan with growing respect in his eyes.
"He Imperial Envoy."
Su Yuan sensed He Zheng’s change in attitude towards him, feeling a slight curiosity at the shift, though he wasn’t sure what happened, so he nodded gently.
Nangong Li and Jiang Lan soon arrived as well.
After a while, accompanied by a flash of golden-red firelight, Fang Qingxiao also came.
However, Fang Qingxiao wasn’t alone; a seemingly ordinary male stood beside him, Lin Mo—who often sent messages for Fang Qingxiao—was unexpectedly present.
"Lord Imperial Throne!"
Su Yuan and others bowed, their eyes involuntarily drifting towards Lin Mo beside Fang Qingxiao.
Most people were quite familiar with Lin Mo, often interacting with him when visiting Vermilion Bird Hall to see Fang Qingxiao.
Yet, in everyone’s impression, Lin Mo had always just been known as Fang Yu’s "Seat Front Child."
For hundreds of years, Lin Mo had never made any outstanding moves or actions.
But now, he was accompanying Lord Imperial Throne here, seemingly also ready to enter the Hongmeng Realm?
"A hidden master?"
It was clear now that Lin Mo must be a concealed master of strength, hiding for so many years.
If not for the opening of the Hongmeng Realm, no one would have known.
Su Yuan’s eyes flickered, opening his perception but unable to fathom Lin Mo’s real Realm.
However, using the All-Knowing Vision would be too impolite.
Only Nangong Li and Jiang Lan, among a few others, seemed to have a certain understanding of him.
Fang Qingxiao looked at everyone, smiling, "It seems everyone is well prepared. Let’s go into the tower... oh? It seems unnecessary anymore."
The crowd hadn’t yet understood Fang Qingxiao’s meaning, but suddenly discovered a shadowy sea of forests encroaching from all directions, ever-changing vistas.
They felt the world spin around them, and suddenly, they found themselves in another Space.
"This is...?"
They were in the Sky Patrol Department, so naturally, there was no danger.
Though surprised, everyone immediately began carefully observing their surroundings.
Here, spiritual energy was abundant, ancient trees sprawled like a sea, and the world was crystal clear and full of vitality!
Everyone felt every cell in their bodies frantically absorbing the atmosphere here, and within a few breaths, their Cultivation seemed to slightly increase!
While marveling at the sight, Fang Qingxiao bowed respectfully towards the Sky-reaching Ancient Tree before him.
"Fang Qingxiao greets the Spirit Emperor."
The crowd paused, astonished, turning their eyes towards the majestic Sky-reaching Ancient Tree.
Could it be that this ancient tree is the Spirit Emperor’s Displaying Sanctity?
Though unsure, they began preparation to collectively bow to the ancient tree.
Just then, a somewhat dry voice echoed from the sky overhead.
"Qingxiao, it’s been a long time."
The voice was small, distant, yet strikingly clear in each Envoy’s ear.
Everyone swiftly followed the Heavenly Tree with their gaze upwards, finally noticing an elder seemingly seated atop the Sky-reaching Ancient Tree.
The Spirit Emperor, one of the Four Emperors!
"Greetings Spirit Emperor!"
Su Yuan and others bowed low.
The Heavenly Tree trembled slightly and quickly contracted. Moments later, it was only about a hundred meters high.
"You may rise," the Spirit Emperor spoke softly.
Su Yuan and the others stood upright, raising their heads to gaze upon this Emperor Level powerhouse of Great Flame.
Thin features, white hair, and beard, yet not harsh or stern, surprisingly gentle.
The Emperor Level powerhouse of Great Flame!
For Su Yuan, it was the second time seeing Emperor Level, and his heart remained excited.
If King Level involves understanding the Law and stepping into the Law’s door of practice,
Then Emperor Level implies mastering at least one complete Law, standing atop Blue Sea Star!
The Spirit Emperor’s gaze swept across, coming to rest on Su Yuan.
"Oh? This young one is truly extraordinary."
Upon hearing the Spirit Emperor, everyone turned their heads.
Su Yuan remained motionless, though slightly apprehensive inside, concerned the System may have been discerned...
"So young, yet possessing such Cultivation, truly remarkable," the Spirit Emperor commented further.
Su Yuan exhaled in relief inwardly, "Vermilion Bird Guardian Su Yuan pays respect to the Spirit Emperor."
Fang Qingxiao smiled and said, "Spirit Emperor, Su Yuan is now our Vermilion Bird Imperial’s Third Rank, extraordinarily gifted, and barely thirty years old."
"Barely thirty?" The Spirit Emperor’s eyes shifted as he took another look at Su Yuan and nodded slightly, "Such Talent is indeed rare for a millennium, well done."
Upon hearing the Spirit Emperor’s praise, He Zheng, Ding Jin, and many other Imperial Envoys felt intensely envious.
Su Yuan dared not speak rashly and bowed low once more.
The Spirit Emperor withdrew his gaze, addressing everyone, "Regarding the Hongmeng Realm, there isn’t anything specific to emphasize, I’ll send you in directly."
The group, hearing this, couldn’t help but feel both excited and expectant.
The Spirit Emperor raised his right hand and tapped the Void before him, a purplish light swirled and quickly evolved into a passage.
Inside the passage, the purple light lingered, shifting between brightness and obscurity.
"Is this the Hongmeng Realm?" Everyone released their Spiritual Sense to probe within.
At this moment, the Spirit Emperor raised his hand and formed Seals, slender threads of Purple Qi shot from his hand and wrapped around everyone’s wrists.
Su Yuan turned to look immediately, vaguely sensing horrifying energy contained within it, yet unable to discern its essence.
"Enter now."
"Yes!"
Everyone replied, but didn’t rush in, instead, looking to Nangong Li.
Nangong Li hesitated not a moment, flying upward and disappearing into the passage instantly.
Jiang Lan and Su Yuan moved sequentially, Envoys subsequently entered into the Hongmeng Realm.
Upon entering the passage, it didn’t take long before Su Yuan’s awareness suddenly blurred, with thoughts murky and sluggish to a degree where even basic reasoning was impossible.
Darkness engulfed him, his eyes refused to open, his entire being felt drained of power and completely immobilized.
Moreover, he struggled to breathe, a sense of suffocation welled up.
Although at Su Yuan’s level, he no longer needed to breathe air to sustain life functions,
Breathing still held other functions, hence not completely abandoned.
The abrupt weakness and fragility made Su Yuan feel deeply uncomfortable, akin to a regular person stuck in an underground mire.
His body was immobile, amidst a daze, Su Yuan instinctively tried using Star Power, yet the Star Sea remained unresponsive.
Unsure how long he struggled, seemingly driven by instinct, Su Yuan started trying to breathe using Star Cave, absorbing what seemed to be some energy around.
Suddenly, his previously weak body seemed to receive some energy, allowing Su Yuan to mobilize some strength.
Though his consciousness was muddled, responding to his body’s feedback, Su Yuan, driven by the "hunger" instinct, kept absorbing energy around.
After a good while, Su Yuan finally absorbed a foundational amount of energy.
His eyelids twitched slightly, soon Su Yuan sprang them open, seeing the scene ahead.
All around, wisps of cloudy purple Qi stretched in all directions.
His body, to his surprise, was in an exceedingly ethereal state, enveloped by a sea of purple Qi.
Opening his eyes felt like waking from a dream, as Su Yuan’s slightly unfocused eyes suddenly sharpened.
"Hongmeng Realm!"
